A Dad’s Blog

I got to start a really cool thing today. Telecommuting!

It has come with some good and bad things that were immediately evident once I got into the flow today. I’ll reserve all that work related crap for Eric Lander’s SEO Blog… Because, well, it has nothing to do with being Cam’s dad.

This morning produced a few answers to yesterday’s suck. That was a good thing but I’m still feeling uneasy about a lot of things I felt great about even a week ago. While I pushed all of that back in order to be productive today, I found that worries and thoughts still crept forward.

Of course, my little man became the best distraction ever. Here he is invading my home office setup… Too effin cute. He even grabbed an empty red bull and tried to drink that.

Things are better, today wad productive and I look forward to the week wrapping up. I won’t be back in the real office until Friday, so that’s a good thing.

Much love to my readers, here’s hoping today’s a better day for you too.

Sometimes you have a day that you just need to end. Today is one of those days, and it began at 3:37AM.

Camden woke up screaming and had to go back to bed with his mother. Since I had already passed out on the sofa prior to that, it was pretty easy to crawl right back up into a ball and keep warm. Waking up on the sofa means just one thing… A couple of Advil in the morning and the stiff neck pain is gone. No harm, no foul.

Of course I couldn’t fall back to sleep easily once I woke up. So I did what any other technology dependent geek would do… I opened up my BlackBerry and started catching up on email and messages. Then I opened up the laptop.

By the time 4:30AM rolled around, I knew I was in for a really, really bad day. I could just feel it in the pit of my stomach - and it’s proven to be the right feeling some 17 hours later.

If there’s ever a way to smile though some tough times it is because of Camden. From playing with his toys to getting that ever so important hug — this little man has the ability to pick me back up again.

Here are a couple of photos from this evening and then a video of him eating his yogurt. While these may seem like nothing special, they were certainly the highlight of my day.

Here’s hoping that today is the end to this vibe and tomorrow brings some better things.

This morning Camden learned to deal with death, loss and similar emotions.

He also became a killer as he dismembered Captain Feathersword, a former Wiggles character and popup book surprise…

You’ll be missed, Captain.

Mess Maker, Mess Maker… Make me a mess!

Thanks for the peaches, Mom. Really. Are you coming over to wash my floors now, too?

Last night Bethany took Camden to get a hair cut.  When they came home, I was shocked to see Camden with a much shorter hair style… And I love it!

As if there was any more proof needed, here’s a few photos of my little man this morning, sporting his new and shorter hair cut.

While I love the look, he’s looking so much older which I’m not sure I like… Because by extension, I’m older too.
